Topic: Hi, I'm back and I've a new name :-) (Read 1098 times)

Hi folks, I was on here once before, a little while back under the name of "thehappysnapper" but now I'm back as "@BuddhistWarrior", why @BuddhistWarrior I hear you all ask, well I'm not a soldier or a martial arts expert or anything interesting like that, I'm just a Buddhist Wigan Warriors fan (for those not in the know they are a rugby league team), its also my Twitter user name, I spend a fair bit of time using Twitter.

I have gone through one or two changes since I was last on here, back then I really classed myself as a Kadampa Buddhist with leanings toward Zen, now I think of myself more as a "Modern Western Non Sectarian Buddhist", bit of a mouthful ain't it , although I don't see myself as following any single tradition, I just kinda do my own thing, I am still influenced by Kadampa and Zen Buddhism but I don't mind borrowing bits from elsewhere as well. The area I live in is a New Kadampa Tradition stronghold, I'm a half hour bus ride from the Manjushri UK, so this influences me greatly, plus I enjoy many aspects of Zen Buddhism, this is why both of these are my main influences.

Anyway I look forward to getting back in the swing of things here on the forum with all you lovely folk as my virtual Sangha.

welcome back.

I'm kinda glad you changed your handle. In certain circles "Happy Snapper" refers an female anatomical part best not discussed in polite society. Every time I saw you post under that name, I winced.
